The Secret Carp tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer. Despite the peacefulness and beauty of the lake, there is always a thrilling undercurrent of tension that in a moment the peace will be shattered and the angler will be attached to a monster. Fishermen of all persuasions will enjoy this masterful angling chronicle.
